Moto X Pure Edition finally receives Android 7.0 Nougat update

Here's a constantly updated rundown of all the news and rumors we've heard about the Moto E4 and Moto E4 Plus so far. Approximately two weeks ago smartphone leaker Evan Blass leaked the images of Moto E4 and Moto E4 Plus. The Moto E3 was announced in July 2016, but it's rumored that the Moto Z2 will land on June 8, and it's possible that Lenovo (which now owns Motorola) will announce the Moto E4 alongside it. According to leaked information, the Moto E4 Plus will ship with a larger display panel and more powerful hardware than its smaller sibling. The handset is expected to flaunt a 5-inch Full HD LCD screen with 720×1280 pixel resolution.

We don't know when Motorola is planning to release the Moto E4, but we can guess that the Moto C and Moto X 2017 might also accompany it, if not coming in at around the same time.

The Moto E4 will be powered by a Mediatek MT6737M SoC and said to be coupled with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. The Moto E4 Plus will be backed by either 2GB or 3GB RAM, while the E4 will come with 2GB of RAM with both of them sporting a 16GB of internal storage, which is expandable. The G4 Plus also comes equipped with a fingerprint reader, a feature you won't find on the standard G4. On the software side of things, both devices will have Android 7.1.1 Nougat pre-installed, which is certainly good news for buyers. Both the smartphones will come with a 5-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies and video calling.

On the pricing front, the report says Moto E4 will start at 150 euros, while Moto E Plus will be at 190 euros. The Moto E4 Plus will measure 155.0 x 72.3 x 9.55mm and weighs 198 grams, while the Moto E4 will measure 144.7 x 72.3 x 8.99 millimetres and weighs 151 grams. The smartphone, which launched in 2015, is known as the Moto X Style in the markets outside the US.
